Congrats on the "rite of passage" that is the water pump change. I did my water pump (and a bunch of other VoD work) a bit over a month ago, and as someone who isn't a mechanic by any stretch either, I too was surprised at how well it went. Like you said, as long as you take your time, it isn't that bad of a job. -Mike Lund #01049 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "andy" <andydandy777@...> wrote: > > I put a new water pump on 3513 this weekend.
